DeepSeek's Disruption in AI

DeepSeek, a Chinese AI lab, has emerged as a game changer in artificial intelligence development, creating models that not only rival but potentially surpass those from U.S. companies while utilizing significantly fewer resources. Their DeepSeek V3 model was developed using just 2,000 NVIDIA chips and $6 million, compared to the tens of thousands of chips and hundreds of millions spent by competitors like Meta. This has led to widespread speculation on whether U.S. companies overly complicated their approaches, leading to financial waste. The rapid growth of DeepSeek, coinciding with its rise to the top of free applications in the U.S. App Store, raises unsettling questions about the U.S. AI landscape and the urgency for reevaluating current assumptions about what drives effective AI development.
